About Us

Uncle Sam’s has locations in both Latham and Schenectady. Uncle Sam's Candy first opened its doors in 1930, and today—under its fourth ownership in 95 years—it remains proudly locally owned by Russ and Lori Metzgar, along with their son Stephen Metzgar. We look forward to continuing the quality and traditions Uncle Sam's is known for, and to celebrating the 100th-year milestone. We thank everyone throughout the community for their support! We continue to be your local family business and continue to be your one-stop shop for customized orders (wedding favors, special handmade tags, custom candy bars, corporate gifts) Thank you for supporting our local business!
